ofthe older boys had diEerent memones of living and working at the "Spencer Ranch." Heaton remembered the following: Corrales was about 2 miles south of Pacheco. Corrales is Spanish for 'corrais.' The Mexican people named it this because, when they 6rst went up there, they found that the indians who had lived there long before had sheep and had made many corrals to hold them in. The corrals were long gone. We [the Lunts] had a big house there and we'd been living in a little log house, and this was a nice big fiame house and had been painted. We had a big barn there and a big field and pasture to put cows and horses and cattle in, and, oh, we sure thought this was a nice place. We had a whole bunch of sheep. We'd shear them and get their wool and Grandma [Sarah, since he was speaking to his grandchildren] would make socks. She'd make the wool into yarn and knit it into socks for us boys in the winter. She'd take one black thread and one white and twist them together and it would make a spiral stocking, very pretty. Findy, some wolves and lions got the sheep and M e d them all.

We also bought a small cheese factory from George C. Naegle, and milked some of his cows on shares--also, some of Helaman Pratt's. Mother's [Sarah's] cheese became famous nght away and found ready sale. Each year a box of the fruits and vegetables and products of the Mormon Colonies was sent to President Profiro Diaz as a token of our good will to him and our appreciation to him for his goodness in letting us live
